     HONORING THE CAREER AND CONTRIBUTIONS OF MR. TERRENCE HARTFORD

                                 ______
                                 

                      HON. CHRISTOPHER R. DELUZIO

                            of pennsylvania

                    in the house of representatives

                        Friday, August 16, 2024

  Mr. DELUZIO. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and congratulate 
Mr. Terrence ``Terry'' L. Hartford on his retirement from ATI, a 
company with deep roots in Western Pennsylvania. Terry devoted his 
entire working life to ATI, retiring after 43 years of service. An 
esteemed and respected member of the ATI team, Terry was most recently 
the Vice President (Defense and Global Markets) for ATI. Through his 
tireless efforts to strengthen the Defense Industrial Base, Terry 
directly contributed to the defense of the United States and, more 
importantly, the men and women of our Armed Forces.
  A lifelong Yinzer, Terry graduated from Kiski Area High School, 
earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Economics from Allegheny 
College, and earned a Master of Business Administration from the 
University of Pittsburgh Katz Graduate School of Business. He is a 
member of the Allegheny College Board of Trustees and the Allegheny 
College Economics Department Board of Visitors, and he served as Vice 
Chairman of the Specialty Steel Industry of North America until his 
retirement.
  Terry began at ATI in 1981 and held multiple positions of increasing 
responsibility in marketing, quality, production planning, and general 
management, including Vice President and General Manager of ATI's Flat 
Rolled Products division. In this capacity, he played an integral role 
in the design, construction, and operation of ATI's Hot Rolled 
Processing Facility in Brackenridge, PA, a $1.3 billion-dollar facility 
that provides technologically advanced titanium and nickel products to 
the nation's Industrial base and our armed forces. In 2015, Terry was 
selected as Vice President (ATI Defense) and charged with expanding 
ATI's support to all branches of the U.S. military and prime defense 
contractors. In this role, Terry promoted the importance of specialty 
materials in the platforms, propulsion systems, and armor providing the 
technical solutions our servicemembers depend on to fight and win out 
Nation's wars.
  Terry is married to the former Laura Laderer of Meadville, PA. They 
met at Allegheny College and have been married for 42 years. They have 
four children--Leslie (husband Rich), Terrence ``I'' (wife Camille), 
Mike (wife Kate), and Colin (wife Allie). They are the proud 
grandparents of Ellis and Lawrence (Leslie and Rich), Will and Jane 
(Mike and Kate), and Benson and Emery (Colin and Allie), and they are 
anxiously awaiting two more grandchildren later this year.
  As Mr. Hartford embarks on a new chapter in life, it is my hope that 
he may recall, with a deep sense of pride and accomplishment, the 
outstanding contributions he has made to ATI, Western Pennsylvania, the 
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, and the United States of America. I would 
like to send my fellow Yinzer my best wishes for continued success in 
his future endeavors and a well-earned retirement.
